Re: [google-appengine] Google App Engine Program Policies
Ikai, Thanks for your answer. I do understand that I am responsable for all the content in my app. I am consulting a lawyer anyway about protecting the users privacy etc. The deal would be setting up guidelines about what is acceptable and what is not. For example: I personally won't allow nudity in someones profile picture (except a torso). But if you could send private messages to someone, and enclose a private picture with that,... I couldn't care less :) - question is: does Google care, because after all.. you host and distribute the image. About policies: if we know what you want to achieve with the policy, it would be easier to apply it to our designplans. After thinking about it for a couple of hours, I do realise that it isn't how stuff work and the policy should indeed be very general. Nonetheless I do believe that there are better ways to communicate about it to your current and future customers. I did enjoy reading your comments on https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-appengine/_zR85Q2Nn7g/discussion Glad you don't take an app down, without contacting the owner (so he can explain and/or take action).

Re: [google-appengine] Google App Engine Program Policies
Thanks Jeff, really appreciate you talking the time to inform me. With the information I have now, I ll make sure my app uses several interfaces so the app can be swithed quickly to another hosting environment - in case Google dislikes my site or in case we have issues with the policy and need another hosting partner. App engine uses everyday technologies you can find everywhere (if you have a good system admin at your disposal;)) My budged is limited, so GAE is the perfect partner to start with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] Re: Question about pushing messages to native apps
Hello Christoph, Welcome to GAE (group)! I'd like to share my PubNub experience: I have been using PubNub for updating thousands of iPhones at the same time. Once you have a (java) instance running which as already connected to pubnub in the past, it publishes fast. I don't know the latency or speed... but in my experience while thousands of users where connected to the same channel this was the speed: The admin submits a form on his computer, looks away from his screen and looks to his iPhone and the message arrives (PubNub uses GAE and Amazon for scaling). Pubnub uses long polling in the browser, but sockets on iPhone (Apple will allow the app - they sometimes don't allow apps that use other http push-services than their own). Two remarks: - when you're testing, you can use a demo-account (so you don't pay for used messages). I have noticed that this demo account can crash your iPhone app (probably a build in security so you won't use this account in a production environment). Make sure the used channel when using the demo account is unique.. Other demo-users can crash your app during testing :) - make sure you don't exceed the max-length of a message! It won't send (throws an error in your serverside code ! :)) Good luck with your project!

[google-appengine] Re: is app engine down? I'm seeing a huge number of deadline errors and our app failing to server, hr datastore
I've had a wake up call at 2AM (Australia) while my clients in Europe were affected by this problem. If I recall it correctly, the community has had the same 'complaint' about very late information about a previous short down time. I guess the 'very late' is rather relative. I'd rather have correct information to provide to my customers, than incomplete info. My main complaint is why you don't let this down time happen during the day (in Australia) so they don't have to wake me up.. haha :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] We are encountering many server errors and latency problem
Had the same problem this morning. It lasted 3 hours.. Status page showed the errors from the previous day (I had problems deploying my app). You can believe I'm not very happy with the (almost) non existing communication about failures like this. I love the easy deploys and easy to use services that GAE offers, but -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] Server Error 500 and requests canceled due to timeout
Had the same problem this morning. It lasted 3 hours.. Status page showed the errors from the previous day (I had problems deploying my app). You can believe I'm not very happy with the (almost) non existing communication about failures like this. Not even a word on twitter like if Google don't want us to find out. And this is not be first time (that I notice a problem). What about the times I don't notice a problem? When you look at the status history we seem to have a 100% uptime and that is a huge lie. I love the easy deploys and easy to use services that GAE java offers and until now my projects are always temporary that have sometimes the need to scale out.. But with a new project in the making that isn't temporary, I would like to know if the status page could get an update soon about what is going on and when the problem will be solved. That can't be so difficult (and please without paying 500$ a month for that information.) It's one of the arguments I use for selling GAE to clients: it's cheaper than others because we don't need a sys admin. But maybe I'm wrong and we should hire one so we at least can inform our clients what the problem is and when it will be solved? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] App Engine Performance
Couldn't agree more with you. Yesterday I couldn't deploy my app, today it was down for 3 hours, other days memcache API is down so I have more datastore reads so I pay for that usage,.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] Instances spinning up and down - website totally unreliable...
Just like Monday, tonight (GTM+1) GAE has proven to be completely unreliable when it comes down to scaling (again). Instances keep dying and spinning up and I get 500 http errors... The 'funny' thing is.. when I browse to an other version (not the default one - so on the appspot domain), I DON'T have a problem with instances dying on me. I would appreciate a fast and definitive solution for this problem. And certainly some feedback because the GAE status page is showing 'all fine'... like usually. If I weren't monitoring my websites myself.. I would believe the uptime guarantee... but they are all lies.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
